An elderly man was injured during an early-morning home invasion in a quiet Spring neighborhood, according to Harris County Precinct 4 deputies. Four masked suspects entered the home through a back window and assaulted the man, who was taken to a hospital with cuts to his head and arms, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Deputies detained four suspects at the scene—one adult and three juveniles. Authorities have not released any names, and the investigation is ongoing.
What deputies reported
Deputies were called to the 8300 block of Timber Nook Court after the reported break-in, where the suspects are accused of entering through a rear window, according to a social media update referenced by the Houston Chronicle. The outlet reports that a man and three juveniles were arrested at or near the home and that investigators are still working to piece together what happened.
Officials have not yet detailed any charges or released booking information, leaving key questions unanswered for now, including how the group ended up at that particular house.
Victim and arrests
Fox26 Houston reports the resident suffered lacerations to his head and arms during the attack and was transported to a nearby hospital. The station notes the constable's office released a photo from the scene and confirmed deputies detained the four males, though they have not disclosed names or ages.
